Cushioning (Neutral)

Cushioned or Neutral shoes generally have the softest (or most cushioned) midsoles and the least medial support. They are usually built on a semicurved or curved last to encourage foot motion, which is helpful for underpronators (who have rigid, immobile feet).

"Do I need cushioned shoes?"You should buy these shoes if:

* you are an efficient runner who does not overpronate * you do not need any extra medical support * runners with high arches often do best in cushioned shoes
